As students of a highly involved community, we constantly rely on social media to connect with our peers and to keep ourselves knowledgeable about upcoming campus events and opportunities. In other instances, we use social media as an escape from reading a dense textbook or writing an analytical paper or lab report.  Social media clearly plays a significant role in our current lives on campus, but what role will it play in our lives after Lawrence?
